Moo!
A brilliant draconic roar and elephant trumpeting resounded in the ancient palace as Mu Chen stood on the sky with ten colossal figures floating behind him. The five dragons and elephants were emitting astonishing Spiritual Energy fluctuations.
Quasi-Perfect Rank Divine Art, Nine Dragons and Elephants Art.
This Divine Art was something that Mu Chen had obtained in Shang Continent. Although it was only a Quasi-Perfect Rank Divine Art, the moment it had some achievements, the might that it could unleash wouldn't be any inferior to genuine Perfect Rank Divine Arts.
Mu Chen stood on the sky with his black pupils that were like vortexes that were deep and unfathomable. After forming the five dragons and elephants, there wasn't any hesitation as his hands swiftly joined together and formed numerous afterimages.
"Nine Dragons and Elephants Art - Dragon-Elephant Wheel!"
A deep bark abruptly rang out from Mu Chen's heart. Shortly after, the five dragons and five elephants behind him unleashed a deep roar and turned into ten streaks of light that flew out. In the next instant, they had already heavily clashed together.
Buzz!
Dazzling rays of light swept out from the point of collision as an incomparably huge light wheel condensed within the light. There were dragon and elephant runes on the edges of the light wheel as extremely violent Spiritual Energy ripples rippled out, causing the surrounding space to tremble.
"Go!"
Mu Chen flicked his finger and the dragon-elephant wheel turned into a streak of light as it flew out. It was like a bolt of lightning, piercing through space in just a flash. In the next instant, it had already appeared before the Sky Dragon-Tiger.
The speed and the powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations made even the Blood Hawk King and the rest of the Sixth Grade Sovereigns have their eyelids twitching.
Facing such an attack, even they wouldn't dare to belittle it.
Roar!
The Sky Dragon-Tiger seemed to have sensed the sharpness of Mu Chen's attack.
Immediately, it narrowed its eyes and heavily stomped its feet on the ground.
Its scarlet eyes flickered as it abruptly opened its mouth.
Violent Spiritual Energy violently gathered in its mouth. Vaguely, its mouth had formed into a ferocious tiger's mouth with an ominous aura whistling out.
"Heavenly Dragon Tiger Roar!"
A deep roar rang out from the ferocious mouth of the Sky Dragon-Tiger. In the next instant.
An earth-shattering dragon roar instantly exploded and the Blood Hawk King and the rest were shocked to see a hundred feet long sonic storm whistling out from the mouth of the Sky Dragon-Tiger.
Rumble!
The sound wave was vast and boundless. As it whistled out, there seemed to be the silhouette of a dragon and tiger galloping within it.
Cracks appeared in the space around them.
This level of attack was violent to the extreme!
Bang!
The dragon-tiger soundwave shot out and clashed against the Dragon Elephant Wheel under everyone's unblinking gazes.
They collided head-on.
At the moment of impact, a loud sound resounded and an incomparably violent shockwave wreaked havoc.
The incomparably hard floor of the fighting ring was actually torn open at this moment.
Bang!
Both figures were affected by the shockwave.
Immediately, the two of them shook violently and were sent flying back in a sorry state.
Mu Chen's silhouette heavily slammed against the light screen at the edge of the Battle Stage.
Ripples appeared on the light screen as a groan resounded from his throat. He grabbed onto the light screen to stabilize his figure and directed his black pupils forward. The Sky Dragon-Tiger was kneeling on the ground with both of its hands inserted into the rune-engraved stone floor. A long crack appeared before it.
Roar!
The Sky Dragon-Tiger's scarlet gaze was also fixed on Mu Chen as it unleashed a roar and slowly pulled its hands out from the ground. Its arms were covered in crisscrossed wounds.
The two of them were evenly matched in their previous confrontation.
Outside the Battle Stage, the various Kings wore grave expressions as they watched the intense confrontation. They never expected that the Sky Dragon-Tiger would be so troublesome that even Mu Chen could barely resist after executing such a powerful Divine Art.
"I'm afraid that the Sky Dragon-Tiger's strength is ranked amongst the top ten ominous beasts."
The various Kings inwardly sighed. At the very least, compared to the Demonic Blackiron Monkey, this Sky Dragon-Tiger was much stronger.
Roar!
As thoughts circulated in the hearts of the various Kings, the Sky Dragon-Tiger unleashed an astonishing roar on the Battle Stage. Thereafter, everyone could see a crimson lustre spreading out from its body.
The crimson lustre was filled with an ominous aura.
Along with the appearance of the crimson lustre, everyone suddenly noticed that the Sky Dragon-Tiger's body was slowly expanding at this moment. The black dragon scales on the surface of its body had also become darker.
In just a few breaths' time, the Sky Dragon-Tiger's body had doubled in size. Standing on the Battle Stage, it was akin to a primordial ominous beast. The dragon horn on its forehead had also become darker.
"Damn it, the Sky Dragon-Tiger's Spiritual Energy has grown stronger. What's going on?!" The various Kings' faces changed when they sensed the changes in the Sky Dragon-Tiger.
"It's igniting the Sky Dragon Bloodline in its body."
Mandala spoke as she couldn't help knitting her brows. The igniting of the bloodline was something that only a few ferocious beasts could achieve. None of the ferocious beasts in the past could achieve this step, so she never expected that the Sky Dragon-Tiger could achieve it.
In this way, its strength would also be enhanced, which was the worst news for Mu Chen.
Previously, Mu Chen could only maintain a stalemate with the Sky Dragon-Tiger after exhausting all sorts of means. But now that it had grown stronger, the situation wasn't good for Mu Chen.
Mu Chen's indifferent face had also slightly rippled at this moment. Evidently, he had also sensed the changes in the Sky Dragon-Tiger.
Boom!
However, the Sky Dragon-Tiger did not give him much time to react. A ferocious light flickered in its eyes as it stomped its feet. Its massive body burst forth with a terrifying speed and in a flash, it had already appeared beside Mu Chen. The shadow formed by its massive body had enveloped Mu Chen.
As its paw whistled down, it brought along a terrifying Spiritual Energy as it slapped towards Mu Chen's head, causing space to shatter under its paw.
Mu Chen's body quickly shifted to the side. His arms were like a shield as he blocked the incoming tiger paw.
Boom!
A muffled sound resounded as Mu Chen's silhouette was sent flying by the Sky Dragon-Tiger's paw.
His body drew a thousand-meter mark on the ground as he slammed his paw on the ground.
The ground shattered, only then did he manage to stabilise his figure.
Mu Chen tightly knitted his brows.
At this moment, his sleeves had already been torn apart with a golden lustre circulating under his skin. The previous paw from the Sky Dragon-Tiger could shatter the bones of ordinary Sixth Grade Sovereigns. But because of the Dragon-Phoenix Physique, Mu Chen's physique wasn't any inferior to some Divine Beasts. But even so, he still felt intense pain on his arm.
Boom!
While Mu Chen knitted his brows …
Whizzing sounds of wind instantly resounded as the Sky Dragon-Tiger's attacks rained down once again.
Mu Chen's silhouette burst in retreat.
The Sky Dragon-Tiger chased after him with a terrifying gale of Spiritual Energy that caused the space to fluctuate.
The situation on the stage had changed and Mu Chen had practically fallen into a disadvantageous position. When the various Kings saw this scene, their hearts couldn't help sinking.
If this continued, even if Mu Chen's physique was powerful, he wouldn't be able to withstand the Sky Dragon-Tiger's attacks.
Nine Nether's hands were tightly clenched at this moment. Mu Chen's challenge was extremely important, if he failed as well.
If he failed, then it would be extremely troublesome for Mandala to break the array.
Boom!
The tiger fist heavily slammed against Mu Chen's arm with the power to shatter mountains. As the space fluctuated, Mu Chen's silhouette was blown away.
Shortly after, he slammed his palm against the void and Spiritual Energy fluctuated, forcefully stabilizing his body.
Forcefully stabilizing his body, he lowered his head to look at his arms.
At this moment, the skin on his arms was torn and blood was flowing.
"Burning the Heavenly Dragon Bloodline has strengthened its Spiritual Energy, increasing its speed, defence and strength …" Mu Chen's eyes flickered. Although he was at a disadvantage, he didn't have any fluctuations due to the existence of the Lesser Demon Heart State. On the contrary, he was constantly analysing the minute changes in the Sky Dragon-Tiger's power.
"My chances of winning against the Sky Dragon-Tiger in this state are extremely low …"
"But there will also be repercussions from igniting its bloodline. When the power of its bloodline is exhausted, it will enter a weakened state."
"I can't last until its bloodline is exhausted, so I have to increase the speed of bloodline ignition."
"How can I increase the speed of bloodline ignition?"
"… …"
Mu Chen's pupils that were akin to black holes started to spin at this moment. Spiritual lights constantly flickered in his heart … In the end, his eyes suddenly narrowed.
Boom!
Another clash and Mu Chen's silhouette was sent flying as he heavily slammed against the barrier. However, he paid no attention to it as his hands suddenly formed an ancient and mysterious seal.
Boom!
Boundless Spiritual Energy whistled out from Mu Chen's body like a storm as golden flames streaked across his black pupils. In the next instant, a pitch-black lustre burst out from the top of Mu Chen's head.
That lustre expanded and in a short moment, it had grown to a few thousand feet in size. Everyone outside the Battle Stage directed their gazes over and couldn't help narrowing their eyes.
It was a huge pitch-black pagoda. The body of the pagoda was engraved with many ancient soaring Sky Dragons. Following the appearance of this black pagoda, a desolate and ancient ripple spread out.
This black pagoda was naturally the Nine-Layered Pagoda.
As Mu Chen's seals changed, the Nine-Layered Pagoda soared into the sky and swiftly pressed down, enveloping the Sky Dragon-Tiger. In the next instant, dozens of golden dragons roared as they flew out from the pagoda. They turned into golden flames and charged into the black pagoda, enveloping the Sky Dragon-Tiger.
But this time, the golden flames did not attack the Sky Dragon-Tiger. Instead, they turned into spiralling flames and entered the Sky Dragon-Tiger's body through its nostrils.
Roar!
The Sky Dragon-Tiger's eyes had practically turned crimson in an instant. In that instant, the Sky Dragon Bloodline in its body had been ignited and a terrifying Spiritual Energy fluctuation burst out.
When the various Kings sensed the Spiritual Energy fluctuation, their faces changed. It was so much so that even the Asura King had narrowed his eyes. This fluctuation was something that even he would have a hard time dealing with.
What was Mu Chen doing?
Why did he suddenly make the Sky Dragon-Tiger grow stronger?
The various Kings exchanged a look. Clearly, they had no idea what Mu Chen was trying to do. Only Mandala was briefly stunned, before her golden pupils lit up.
"That fellow actually thought of this … But it's all thanks to this black pagoda. The Sky Dragon Flames formed from the Sky Dragon Runes came from the same vein as the Sky Dragon Bloodline in the Sky Dragon-Tiger's body. Thus, it could instantly ignite the bloodline in the latter's body …"
Mandala shifted her gaze towards the Nine-Layered Pagoda and suddenly knitted her brows. Shortly after, her expression gradually turned grave.
This black pagoda seemed a little familiar … the Buddha Divine Pagoda of the Primordial Clan, the Buddha Divine Clan, seemed to be similar to it …
But why would Mu Chen possess the Buddha Divine Pagoda? It was something unique to the Buddha Divine Clan. Could it be that he's from the Buddha Divine Clan?!
